Welcome to Aortarepair.com

Our Mission:
​

1. Introduce the field of medicine to patients that focuses on conditions of the aorta.   
2. Provide information on diseases of the aorta and treatments. 
3. Introduce the clinical and laboratory research in the field of aortic surgery and aortic conditions.
​4. Provide interesting vignettes that may be inspiring to patients and interesting to the members of the medical community.
 

SECOND OPINION PROGRAM

At times meeting another specialist to discuss the problem with your thoracic aorta is necessary.  Try to find an aortic specialist at a center of excellence in your region.  Some centers provide a second opinion over the internet and others recommend that the patient is seen in the office.  To attain a second opinion click here.


NEW RECOMMENDATIONS 

Based on recent published literature the guidelines for elective repair of an ascending aortic aneurysm associated with a bicuspid aortic valve has changed. Now patients without a family history of aortic dissection or rupture who have an ascending aortic aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve should consider elective repair when the aortic diameter is 5.5 cm or greater.  Click here for the complete report.
